Bean animal overflow question

[UncommonSense]

All the drains
are 1 inch. The pump is a simplicity DC 1000.

hmm… okay, this pump should not be able to flow more than one of these drains in a typical installation…

This points towards restriction in your primary drain plumbing, either from a clog, or from a fitting with an undersized inside diameter…

From your video, it appears that something’s going on with that primary drain’s first fitting; its inside diameter looks appreciably smaller than the secondary drain’s first fitting! — is that just the bulkhead itself on the primary drain?

Yes I believe so… you got me thinking let me dbl check that … if there’s a weird smaller fitting inside that primary drain

I would open up the that red gate valve wide open. Then increase pump flow until it starts to flow into the secondary drain. Using the gate valve to make fine tuning adjustments.

Make sure nothing is restricting flow in the main drain line. Could have a stick or small snail stuck in one of the elbows and it's slowing down the main drain's flow rate. Also make sure the red pipe below the gate valve is not touching anything that could be blocking the flow. I've seen people put sponges down there and not realize it was causing an airlock in the line.

This did the trick, thanks dude!!
